THE NORTHERN PRISON AFFAIRS.
The ''Cat" No Longer Used and Solitary Con-
finement Is the Severest Punishment.

The officers Of the northern prison filed their
annual reports with the Governor yesterday.
The condition Of the prison is in the customary
perfect The directors state that solitary con-
fnement is the most severe mode Of pun
ishment now used and the warden.
in speaking of the same matter, says:
"Since my last report have abolished the use
OF the cats as a means of punishment After q
long experience, have become convinced that
it. lowering in its tendencies, and is not con-
ducive to good discipline, and degrading in its
effects and is wholly unnecessary in controlling
conT1cts | think better results come from
more humane system of treatment, with judi
cious of milder disciplinary measures AS
the years go by | am more strengthened in my
opinion that a classification of the inmates of
our prisons into different grades is imperatively
necessary. If we hope to decrease crime and
place unfortunates under our charge on the
road to reformation. The promiscuous herding
of the young in age and crime with the old and
hardened criminals is relic of the past. This
age demands better methods, and every effort
should be brought to bear in our Legislature to
bring about change in this respect"
The mum Der of convicts in the prison at the
beginning of the year was 697, and at the close
OBJ The number discharged was 3l4. against
200 received while sixteen were parolled by the
Governor and thirteen died. The warden paid

General Eisk's Pleasantly.


General Clinton B. Fisk explains how he came
to put Mrs. Clevelands name down on his list as
contributing 800 to the Prohibition campaign
fund, but his explanation is more amusing than
conclusive. 1t appears. according to the Gener-
ais statement, that at the meeting where money
was being raised somebody in the audience
I'll pay it." The General did it. he declares, as
the country showing that Mrs. Cleveland had
generously contributed 500 in good hard coin
of the realm to the campaign fund of the Prohi-
bition party. The list was not accompanied by
any foot note or marginal reference explaining
that the use of Mrs Clevelands name or the al
legged payment by her were mere pleasantries-
the dear public were allowed to find that out for
themselves, the feeling doubtless being that if
they didn't find it out it would make no differ
ence anyhow.
General Fisk is an honorable man who would
scorn to resort to tIickery deception or fraud
in behalf of any cause however dear to him, but
he must realize that in this instance he has
thoughtlessly placed himself'in position which
is not merely indefensible but huIniliating and
discreditable as well. If a saloon-keeper were
to sign Mrs. Cleveland's name to his application
for liquor license and then when caught in the
trick try to explain it away by saying that 1T
"a mere pleasantry'-such a subterfuge,
we fancy, would meet with nothing but the de-
served scorn and contempt of General Fisk and
the wellmeaning people with whom he is asso-
ciated in the Prohibition movement. And yet,
for the life of US, cannot see why the saloon
keeper has not just as much right to use Mrs.
Cleyelands name as a means OF hoodwInk1ng
the public as the ProhibitioniStS have.

The Party for Young Men.


IL the Republican issues of the present are
less emotional and enkindling than those of an
earlier dav. there is absolutely nothing in the
Democratic party which makes it alluring to
young men. 1t is Bourbonized in its traditions
and fossilized in its management, and although
for brief periods, and revenue only" it has
made pretensions to reform, it has speedily gone
back to its s'wallowing." with an intensity of
satisfaction which suggests that as its natural
condition. The Republican party. on the other
hand, stands for certain great principles which
may well command the loyalty of young men.
1t holds to genuine reform of the civil service.
1t stands for . treatment OF the tariff along the
lines of protection to American manufacturers
and American labor. Il insists upoa a fair bal
lot and an honest count. North and South. It
antagoniZes the dominance of the saloon power
and offers the most effective political agency for
restraining it. Upon these and other issues it
appeals confidently to young men who. Jas they
come of age and consider what party assoca-
tions they shall form, will naturally be drawn
toward the party which stands for the right
side of current issues.

More Truth About Southern California.

An Evansville mechanic writes home from San

swarms. I am working forty-two men and turn
away from ten to twenty daily. Consequently
wages low. from s.. 75 to So per day, and
board ST per week.
II have been paying $50 per month for board
for myself, wife and boy, and had to build to be

here, but they grown in a manure pile. and
watered all the time. In short, we have
glorious climate, and the only things the sand
produces naturally are feas, chapparal bushes
and sage brush. but we have boom all the
same, and the finest hotel on the Pacific nearly
ready for business. Lots changing hands

they don't sell, the bottom will fall out of the

Richard Watson Glider. of New York, to the
White House. she brought to Mrs Cleveland a
magnificent St. Bernard dog, called Kay, from

affections of his mistress. who may be seen
nearly every day just before lunch time in the
grounds back of the White House enjoying
constitutional with the dog for her con- pa MON.
Occasionally Mrs. Cleveland detaches the long
chain with which she holds him and allows the
animal TO bound ahead over the frozen ground

jaunty little whip which she carries on these
occasions.
